DNA Alkylation

Duocarmycin SA is an extremely potent cytotoxic agent and antitumor antibiotic that induces sequence-selective alkylation of duplex DNA, with an IC50 of 10 pM. It demonstrates synergistic cytotoxicity against glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells when combined with proton radiation in vitro.

Duocarmycin TM is a DNA alkylator. Duocarmycin TM is an exceptionally potent antitumor antibiotic.

DC41SMe is a DC1 derivative that is cytotoxic to Ramos, Namalwa and HL60 / s with IC50s ranging from 18-25 pM. DC1 is a simplified analogue of CC-1065, an antibody conjugate of cytotoxic DNA alkylation molecules, used for targeted treatment of cancer.

Busulfan (Busulphan) is a synthetic derivative of dimethane-sulfonate with antineoplastic and cytotoxic properties. Although its mechanism of action is not fully understood, busulfan appears to act through the alkylation of DNA. Following systemic absorption of busulfan, carbonium ions are formed, resulting in DNA alkylation and DNA breaks and inhibition of DNA replication and RNA transcription.

Procarbazine hydrochloride (NSC-77213 HCl) is the hydrochloride salt of a methylhydrazine derivative with antineoplastic and mutagenic activities. Although the exact mode of cytotoxicity has not been elucidated, procarbazine, after metabolic activation, appears to inhibit the trans-methylation of methionine into transfer RNA (t-RNA), thereby preventing protein synthesis and consequently DNA and RNA synthesis. This agent may also undergo auto-oxidation, resulting in the formation of cytotoxic free radicals which damage DNA through an alkylation reaction.

DM-CHOC-PEN is a DNA alkylation agent that may be used to treat brain cancer.

1-Methyladenine is a DNA alkylation product that undergoes damage reversal through oxidative demethylation for repair purposes.

Busulfan-d8 is a deuterated compound of Busulfan. Busulfan has a CAS number of 55-98-1. Busulfan is a synthetic derivative of dimethane-sulfonate with antineoplastic and cytotoxic properties. Although its mechanism of action is not fully understood, busulfan appears to act through the alkylation of DNA. Following systemic absorption of busulfan, carbonium ions are formed, resulting in DNA alkylation and DNA breaks and inhibition of DNA replication and RNA transcription.
